Historical Perspectives: A Look At Baselworld 1946
With Baselworld 2015 about to begin, we thought it would be worthwhile to take a step back in time to Baselworld 1946 (though it wasn't even called Baselworld at that time – but you get the idea). Where did we get all these photos? eBay. Naturally. When we saw this series of photos of booths from the 1946 fair that was distributed to watch and clock retailers around the world listed on eBay, we knew we had to buy them to share with you. Some of the manufacturers you see here will be familiar to you, while others are more obscure and probably only familiar to expert vintage watch hunters.If I could go into a time machine and take the watches from one case, it would be the case shown in the top image of the Patek Philippe booth. It appears there are a few complicated Pateks in it (presumably at least one reference 1518), both pocket watches and wristwatches.I didn't think of Zenith as a clockmaker, but it appears that clocks were the main objects they were showing in Basel

Rolex GMT 16700 Chamfers vs. GMT II 16710 Chamfers
For all GMT I 16700 and GMT II 16710 owners here that still have it unpolished, how do the chamfers compare in terms of the cut? It appears that the chamfers for the 16700 are less defined vs the 16710? Can anyone confirm this? Do post your photos! Thanks
